Trini Fried Chicken Recipe

Trini Fried Chicken Recipe

Many, many years ago during one of my visits to Trinidad, we (husband and I – no kids then) were invited to my niece’s in laws for a ‘lime'(Trini get together). There was card playing, laughter, rum, curry agouti (wild meat), french fries and these wings. The fries and fried chicken wings were served with Trini ketchup, mustard and lime pepper sauce. My mouth still salivates at the thought of that unforgettable meal, especially the fried chciken!

 

In this recipe, the chicken is seasoned with green seasoning, then dipped in eggs and coated with a seasoned flour and cracker crumb mixture. What makes this special is that the cracker crumbs are made using Crix crackers, Trinidad’s ‘vital supply’, which gives it not only a great flavor but loads of crunchiness.

I hope you enjoy this fried chicken recipe as much as we do.
